Just a heads-up in case you all at KF didn't know, BetterHelp is going through some serious legal trouble right now over some very serious allegations. In case it affects you wanting to use them as a sponsor, just wanted to say something. Totally hope it turns out that the allegations are false, but it looked really bad from what I was seeing.
They are a Mental health provider that is slinging business using billbaords and used car salesman tactics like having online personalities lie about using their stuff just to get you to sign up. It's no wonder they were loose with information as well just to gain more revenue. I will watch videos like Kinda Funny's but I do give monetarily to anyone that uses betterhelp as sponsors. They've done a lot of bad in the mental health community even before this. The last two years of them raising in this way has been troubling. There are other and better ways to find therapists in your area, than a company that became money hungry.
@@koreywinicky7767 I hear ya. I didn't do super in-depth research into the lawsuits over the therapists and the information misuse stuff, so I did not want to say much more. Just learned enough from reputable sources to know it was definitely a troubling situation. Praying that you and yours are doing well and haven't been too negatively impacted by the situation! Stay safe out there, friend.
Lol what even is the argument of “oh it’s just more Spider-Man” like that’s legit all we need. Don’t need them to do anything crazy just slightly improve stuff from the games before and a cool new story.
On the topic of Peter's face, the 2018 Spider-Man face was the main appeal to truly convincing me that this is a story of an older people. The change really does throw a wrench into that
I get what your saying and I agree the old face was more appealing but knowing petter is 25 in spidy 2 makes the change make sense. I not only got use to it very quickly but there is a mission around half way through the game that really brings it home and shows why the changed it. I'm still very iffy on the new MJ face however, feels like they changed it just because they changed peters face
Insomniac seems to be in the uncharted 2/3 position now. Wolverine could be their last of us in fresh perspective, sense of tone, M rating, no gadgets, mechanics, getting out of their comfort zone. And the lessons learned from Wolverine could influence Spider-Man 3. Like the last of us influence on uncharted 4 back into last of us part 2
Yeah that’s gonna be amazing. I feel like this game is gonna be our taste into how insomniac can be dark and brutal bc of Venom. So knowing insomniac, I think they’re deff going to deliver
Glad to hear that you don't have to 3 star challenges. Screwball sections stumped me at certain points in SM2018. So hyped for this, especially with the further development in accessibility features.
i do feel like the venom stuff didn’t suffer with kraven but i do feel like actual venom’s bit could’ve been longer. there’s a pacing issue in that it’s all fast, rather than one bit being fast and the other not being. i don’t think the predictability is a bad thing if you enjoy the ride.
One of the reasons I think they will do and nail the rated M tone for wolverine is funny enough resistance. Granted a lot of turnover and change since then but They shown they will do it and can do it. Resistance goes to some dark places. Kinda miss those games.
I disagree with Janet's 'recommendation' to just play _Spider-Man 2_ without playing the first one. If there's a time constraint, and you can play just one game, play the 2018. wait to play _Spider-Man 2_ until you've got time later on.
I have a bunch of questions, maybe they will be asked. How does the game deal with all the upgrades from the previous games? Does the story continue some of the side stories( such as wraith) we saw lizard costumes at the Halloween party in 2018. So the lizard exists in this universe,so what’s the deal with this one? Just glad the game will be available to all of us in a few days.
I mean it's fixing the problem for you, other people (like me) enjoyed the puzzles in teh first game and I am sure I will like these. So technically speaking yes the problem is no longer there if you skip it. If you think problem is still there even if you skip it projects you think your opinion means more than others who enjoyed that part of the game. NOW, there is an argument that since you wanted to skip it that that's a problem. I can agree with that.
The old Peter looked more like the age of the current spiderman is supposed to be. The new one looks way too young. Also Peter is not supposed to be a preppy looking kid, the new face is way too preppy. The first Peter face looked like an average guy which is how it should be.
@@jingleballs9935 I think both this Peter & the other face pass for 25, as not all 25 year olds look the same. But I do prefer the old face as it conveyed the "man I've been doing this for 8 years and Miles is the kid I'm teaching." When they say in SM2 that Peter is old or when Peter says that high schoolers nowadays look like babies compared to him, the statement doesn't mean much when he has his young face.
@jeffsroyalbodyguard7642 it's not a PlayStation Studios game though. Those are generally only games that are 1st party. It's just published by Sony. Look at the trailer. No PlayStation Studios logo at the beginning 💀
Them talking about the game makes me sad I can’t play it. Ik I gotta wait till release but I still haven’t got confirmation of my CE preorder shipment. I’m nervous I’ll have to wait even longer to play it.
@@defaultgamer6816 yeah, hopefully the same for you. Despite the rest of the world falling to crap, Playstation Direct's shipping has yet to let me down.
@@sherpawhale do they sometimes not update PlayStation direct with shipping details? They charged my account Sunday but I haven’t had any updates other than “preparing to ship” I’m nervous I won’t get it on release even though the order lookup says day of release.
@@defaultgamer6816 God of War Ragnarok released on November 9th. They sent me a shipping notification email at 10:40pm November 8th, and it was delivered the next day at 1:53pm. I wish they sent out the info earlier, but so far they've been very reliable with the packages always getting there the day of release. Hopefully they don't screw either of us over after I've said that 😅
Janet says she’s at 49% completion. Is that in-game; meaning all the story and side-missions? Or is it the PlayStation home screen, which refers to just the story completion?
He looks like a 20-something guy who's spent over ten years burning the candles at both ends as a student/reporter/scientist AND a constantly on-call superhero. That stuff would would wear on you a bit.
I kind of agree with his takes on the game, tbh. I think they’re good, and I get what is to be appreciated about it, but I think they’re a very flawed experience as well. Like 8 out of 10 sounds about right to me. I don’t hate them, I just really don’t enjoy anything except swinging through the city, and some of the story beats.
Janet telling people it’s a waste of time to play Spidey 2018 and Miles Morales, before playing Spidey 2 might be one of the worst gaming takes I’ve heard from a professional podcaster in a long time. Nothing but respect, but calling 2 great games, that I’m sure only make Spidey 2 better, a waste of time is preposterous. I’m shocked no one pushed back but Barrett.
It's not the games itself, it's the time. Only a few days before release to replay either games isnt much time and I think theyre mechanically so similar that you're better off diving deep into the new than burning yourself out on both. Again, if you really wanted to play them you wouldn't be asking IMO. So if you're on the fence I say just to skip the replays.
Just to comment on the “new” face. Old Peter didn’t look too old the new Peter looks too young. He looks younger than Miles. Miles looks like he might be teaching the new face to be Spider-Man.
Janet maybe shouldn’t have been on this episode if she couldn’t be bothered to play it more than a few hours. Half the time she has nothing to add because she literally hasn’t played that stuff.
I think you got your videos mixed up. This is just an FAQ for community questions that definitely doesn't require game completion to answer or add insight. Besides the fact that this is not her full-time job nor did kinda funny require/pay her to complete it. You're looking for the Kinda Funny Spider-Man 2 Gamescast review were the two full-time members of this podcast plus Tim and Andy give their full breakdown of the game.
I couldn’t be bothered to play it for more than a few hours because someone literally died. I think I did pretty good for being out of town for 2 weeks for the funeral, related errands, and for being knocked on my ass with health issues that sent me to urgent care 3 times and the ER once. Thanks!
I just watched your review and it was miles ahead of this video..i understand that you want to be inclusive and all but when girl that didn't even make it through HALF of the game is constantly yapping for 1 hour 40 minutes...it just makes no sense at all
This is the first time I haven’t beaten a game during a review cycle because the day I got the code, a few hours after recording PSILY, there was a death close to me. I spent this entire review period out of town, at a funeral, doing errands, and was also hit with health issues that lead to 3 visits to urgent care and 1 to the ER. So I’m not sorry I only was able to play 50% of this video game. Also I’ve been part of the show for like 2 years so idk where you get off saying I’m only there for inclusion.
This has been a terrible year to not have an Xbox & not be into Final Fantasy, Zelda or superhero games haha. So much content I have to skip 😭😭 but like, I get it. It’s a me problem. Hope everyone enjoys this one!!
I mean, no one’s saying you have to skip it. You’re choosing to because you think you won’t like it. Which you know… is fair. But if you’re looking at other people enjoying those games with envy, it does beg the question if one of them is worth giving a try anyway.
Because that's happening all the time. Shit. A guy straight walked into a school and started shooting and the cops stood outside scared. Lots of help they did
Hope the parry feels as good as GOT's....also the new face is objectively way better i don't understand the hate at all yall weird...also they definitely should add some multiplayer DLC eventually.

Haha well unfortunately most dollar trees sell their products for well over a dollar anyway.
It definitely sounds like Janet can't parry lol😂
No I cannot. I’m so bad at it. In almost every game.
@Gameonysus oh😳😳!!! It was a joke. I suk at it too lol. Have a great day. You're super cool btw
Lol Andy catching strays for being able to parry 🤣🤣🤣
